While every museum wants to be known and recognized, Das verborgene Museum'u (Hidden Museum) was founded in Berlin in 1986.

The founders of the museum, a group of female art historians, stated their aim as saving female artists who hadn't attracted attention from being forgotten. They created an institution, Das verborgene Museum, where the works of "hidden" female artists which were previously stored in museum warehouses could be displayed until they found a place in exhibitions.

Thanks to this museum, artists such as Gertrud Arndt, Dorothy Bohm, Ida Gerhardi, Martha Hegemann, Lily Hildebrand, Lotte Jacobo, Lotte Laserstein, Käthe Loewenthal, Else Lohmann, Marie Vassillieff, Hilde Westström and Yva have been "rediscovered".
